Caracterização geotécnica do talude norte no Vale da Anta, Cabo Mondego
Pratas Silva, Mónica; Quinta-Ferreira, Mário; Andrade, PedroRESUMO: A ocorrência de roturas em taludes (por exemplo, taludes de estradas, frentes de pedreiras e de antigas explorações mineiras), pode causar graves prejuízos económicos e/ou colocar vidas em risco. Assim, é necessária uma intervenção rigorosa e integrada para recuperar taludes abandonados ou instáveis e locais de exploração. Foi estudado um talude rodoviário localizado na zona norte do Cabo Mondego (Vale ...
The Lying Society and Fake News in the City
Andrade, PedroPurpose. Within contemporaneity, urban cultures and citizen cultural users experiences are contaminated by social and political information, often disseminated via digital media. The present essay intends to call attention on the relevance of debating propaganda, disinformation, and media manipulation inside the city cultural fabric. For such aim, firstly, it encompasses a theoretical debate on these issues, vi...
Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Uncomplicated (Non-Lymphogranulom...

Being associated with a large number of asymptomatic carriers, the diagnosis is frequently challenging and requires appropriate laboratory testing. In Portugal, the incidence of the disease has been consistently increasing in recent years, meaning that special awareness is required for case identificatio...
Evolution and genetic architecture of sex-limited polymorphism in cuckoos
Merondun, Justin; Marques, Cristiana I; Andrade, Pedro; Meshcheryagina, Swetlana; Galván, Ismael; Afonso, Sandra; Alves, Joel M; Araújo, Pedro M.Sex-limited polymorphism has evolved in many species including our own. Yet, we lack a detailed understanding of the underlying genetic variation and evolutionary processes at work. The brood parasitic common cuckoo (Cuculus canorus) is a prime example of female-limited color polymorphism, where adult males are monochromatic gray and females exhibit either gray or rufous plumage. This polymorphism has been hypo...

Hybrid Cultural Heritage in Ukraine
Andrade, PedroWithin contemporaneity, cultural heritage is increasingly circumscribed in terms of a “hybrid cultural heritage”. Such social phenomenon and subjacent mediating concepts mean a cultural archive built, deconstructed and reconstructed by a people, integrating contributions from diverse cultural memories. Ukraine has a cultural heritage that can be understood as the historical and social mix and intermediation of ...
Adaptive reinforcement learning for task scheduling in aircraft maintenance
Silva, Catarina; Andrade, Pedro; Ribeiro, Bernardete M.; F Santos, BrunoThis paper proposes using reinforcement learning (RL) to schedule maintenance tasks, which can significantly reduce direct operating costs for airlines. The approach consists of a static algorithm for long-term scheduling and an adaptive algorithm for rescheduling based on new maintenance information. To assess the performance of both approaches, three key performance indicators (KPIs) are defined: Ground Time,...
